I never really take pictures due to my weights. Just didn’t make me happy to do so. This was July 2017. I had my surgery March 22,2018.

I was the same way. I drank a few ounces of pickle juice and it helped. I tried other stuff but it didn’t help

I get premier protein in chocolate, vanilla and Carmel. I use almond milk if it is to sweet for me

I plan on cutting them you into tiny pieces and then chewing the heck out of them

I have not had a period for 10 months going through menopause. And after surgery 3weeks I started. 8 days period from Hell. Going to doctor for an full woman check up since I am due for one. Guess I’ll have to start birth control again

I am going through menopause no period for 10 months and bam! 3 weeks after surgery I started. 8days from Hell. Going to make an appointment for a full checkup since I am due for one.

I have decided to go to ER after talking to my doctor. Here now for this reason

I called Dr said it is an issue maybe right after surgery with your lungs. Need to use that device they gave for breathing

I am right now. And it also feels a little similar to heartburn symptoms at times. I had my surgery 3/22.

I have been on a liquid diet 2 weeks before surgery (3/22) and working on my final 3rd week after surgery. I have my follow up Dr appointment next Thursday and a first bite class the same day. I will get to go to puréed food then and when they tell me I can go to food after that. I think they said 1 week on puréed. I have seen every doctor is different. I hope this helps but I would definitely do what your own doctor says to do

I saw my ob gyn and I am going through the early stages of menopause. I thought my period after having kids was bad. I laid on my stomach for a little bit but I have to find my heating pad. Maybe it will help with the pain of my period. Not having any pain from surgery, I just want to scratch... healing process so I don’t. Thank you for your story.

Welcome. I just had surgery 2 weeks ago

Well before surgery I have been going through menopause for the last 3 yrs. Last period over 9 months ago. Well after having surgery 2 weeks ago the curse is back with a big pow! Cramps and doubled over... my questions is it safe to use a heating pad and laying on my stomach (if I am able to)? That was the only way I was able to get relief from my period before. Now a new count down till I reach complete menopause.

HW 260 CW 253 SW 242 GW 130 Sleeve 3-22-2018 Getting ready to leave have to be at hospital at 5:30am surgery time 7am Good luck to everyone who has this surgery day I hope we all have a speedy recovery

They just called me about my surgery tomorrow. Time has changed to 7am be at hospital by 5:30am. I know the feelings you are having. Good luck to you

Yep

So ready for that day. Trying to avoid the cold that is going around. So far when I weighed the other day I was down 8lbs on this two week diet. I hear there is a lot of gas pain

That’s my date too! Be there at 6am surgery at 7:45am

My dr told me that what he is going to do

Really my surgeon said it is common and he repairs them at the same time as he does the sleeve

Any help I can get I am thankful for

What does everyone take for constipation? Trying to stock up medicine cabinet before I have surgery. 7 days away till surgery

I will have both done on March 22. Looking forward to finally exhaling

I am 47 my BMI is 47.6 I am 5ft 2in next week is my surgery on Thursday. I have lost 7 lbs on my liquid diet so for in just 3 days. My husband is finally supportive but was really scared for me to have surgery. He knows I have been trying the last 5yrs every darn diet in the world. We have a handicap daughter who is 28 and I am her primary caregiver since I stay at home. He works long hours and travels out of town weekly. Luckily my other kids live in our rent house next door, so they can check on us while he is gone. My goal is 150 but doctor says I can probably get to 130. I live in Alvin,TX Good luck to everyone on their journey
